I'm Beyond Tired

***

Snookums isn't coming home tonight. Some kind of Naval
make-believe, pretend-fighting. Everyone has to stay on
the ship tonight. He said they aren't doing anything but
sitting around, so I'm not really sure what the purpose of
this "exercise" is. All I know is, he's going to miss the
Easter egg hunt tomorrow, he won't be able to go with me
to get the girls' pictures done and we aren't going out to
dinner, because he won't be home early enough. I don't
understand why the Navy does this. Would it have been too
much to ask for them to be home Easter weekend? I mean,
really? I'm not even a hard-core Easter fan, but it would
have been nice have him home, since he's in the
geographical area. On Sunday he has to report to the ship
early in the evening, so the actual Easter holiday is
ruined, too. Then, he'll be gone for a week. Floating off
the coast of Washington, doing nothing because he had to
work overtime the past month.

Today kind of sucked. I didn't want to get up this
morning, but the urge to get Zoe tested for every animal
ailment under the sun, was persuasion enough to get out of
bed. Zoe DID NOT like the fecal collection portion of the
appointment. I didn't feel sorry for her. I felt
vindicated for all the crap she's put me through the past
couple of months. She deserved a stick up her ass. She's
been an angel ever since :) On the plus side, they haven't
called me yet. They said they would when the results came
back. So, I'm hoping no news is good news as the old adage
goes. I've tried to take care of her. I don't see how she
could have anything serious.

I took the girls to McDonald's for breakfast this morning,
then we met Gen and Cyrus for coffee at Starbucks. It's
always nice spending time with Gen, but all I really
wanted to do was get home. I'm still not feeling so great.
I'm beyond tired, my body is sore and I can't catch my
breath no matter what I do. I feel weak. I hate that. When
we got home, I put Kiki down for a nap and I took one,
too. Nap time used to be my chance to do stuff without
Kiki getting under foot. Now I need the nap more than she
does. It's sad.

I've spent most of the afternoon feeling crappy, having
nothing to do. I could have done laundry, but I didn't
want to. I could have cleaned off my desk, but I didn't
want to do that, either. I really just want to spend time
relaxing with Snookums. We haven't been able to do that in
so long. I miss my Snookums :(

Navy Federal is making me mad! I stopped by there this
morning to cash my paycheck and an Easter check Helena
sent us and since I was there, I inquired about Snookums
and my debit cards. The teller looked in the computer and
sure enough, they were requested March 5, but as of
yesterday, they weren't in our mail box (I checked today,
too. Nothing). So, she cancelled them and requested two
more! Then she turned to me and said "It shouldn't take
longer than a couple weeks". I wanted to cry. What am I
supposed to do about paying my bills? I'm tired of hunting
down ATM's, paying extra fees because there's only 2 Navy
Federal ATM's in all of Kitsap County and having to figure
out alternate ways of paying bills that are supposed to be
conveniently paid online. There has to be something they
can do to help us out. Not that they will.

I suppose the sooner I feed the girls, the sooner I get to
put them to bed. Then I get to go to bed. Yeah, I think
I'll do that. Ciao.

UPDATE: I fed the girls. Instead of going to bed, they're
curled up on the big couch watching Ella Enchanted. I'm
think of leaving them like that. They're going to fall
asleep soon and they aren't fighting or making a mess.
What more can a mom ask for?

Zoe scratched her neck and freaked me out again. So, I
flea dipped, flea combed, flea sprayed and gave the
monthly treatment drops to her and Zeus. Again. I didn't
find anything on either of them, but you can't fault me
for my thoroughness. Vermin will not live in my house!
Maybe my OCD is flaring up a little...or nesting is taking
over my rational thought process. Whatever. I'm ready for
bed now. Ciao for real this time.
